Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
At least there is room for a cot. Plenty of storage for your clothing.
Tell her not to worry. There are some M818s coming up for auction at Fort Knox.Okay, I guess I'm the bozo who won the M373A2 trailer out of Dayton......
The boss isn't too happy about it either. What the heck are you going to do with a 30 foot long tactical trailer she says?
Fortunately it's only about 13 or 14 miles from my house. now I just have to figure out how to get it home since I don't have a tractor.
But it was only $690 and I'm laughing all the way to the credit union. Woohoo!!
I ventured a guess the other night that it was a perimeter surviellence system. They mount those on those type of trailers. Bottom line is I doubt it was something that should have been sold to the public.
Honey, there's a letter from Government Liquidation in the mail for you...
I think it is just a 30 KW generator, nothing special.
That was close.
Sounds like you got a good buy on the trailers. I was told these were in a "remote" location and they would not be stacking them. Only "hook and go". I got 2 myself and will need to figure something out.
How far of a drive is it for you?
) and then tow them back?
Not on a 3/4 ton trailer. Someone is probably looking high and low for those.
I have a friend that bought the m818 out of VA. He wanted it bad, we are going to shorten it and put 48in tires on it. He already bought one 06 depot rebuild off me this year. You guys don't under stand it's a wave with the prices, I have been buying from GL since 03 and you see a pattern with the prices. It's all driven on supply and demand. I have sold 3 depot rebuild trucks for big bucks, Try to buy a nice civilian tractor thats 6x6 for less than 15K. We can cry about the prices, and say it sold for way to much, But GL has been selling trucks since 2001. The supply is running out. If you think $3000 is a lot for a truck 5 ton, or 2 1/2 ton then get into a different hobby that you can afford. I have sold 15 duces this year, and the cheapest one was $7,500. More people are seeing the military trucks at car shows or driving down the roads, and think their very cool and want one. All I can say is buy up the cheap trucks you can and sit on them for a year or so. The supply of 2 1/2 tons are drying up on GL, there are only 200 left to be sold by GL. This hobby is only going to get bigger, and there are only so many trucks. Please don't take offense to what I said I am just trying to be informative!
